i got a problem... i took out my stock head unit and cut the harness from the wires and now my keyless entry wont work.

i would be very appreciative for any info or suggestions or solutions to my wiring problem.

 

well, the first thing you did wrong was cutting into the factory wiring harness. I hope you know that you could have just spet the 15 bucks and bought the adapter harness for your new deck or whatever. You have obviously cut into something you shouldnt of. By best suggestion for you is to take it to a proffesional stereo shop,(not the dealer, will void any warranties on the car),and have them check it out. I wouldnt try to fix anything yourself beecause you can actually start to fry out a whole bunch of wires. Trust me, i ****ed up the whole electrical system in a previous car just from hooking up 1 or 2 wrong wires in a car. If this happens, be prepared to spend some major $$$$$$. So, my idea for you is go get it checked out first. If you already messed up the keyless entry, who knows what else you might screw up.

 

You could also buy the standard adaptor pieces, and reconnect your harness... might be worth the money to try it yourself first. Crutchfield carries all the parts you'd need...

 

thanks for the suggestions

 

i gotta another question about why my keyless entry wont work:

is it because it works on a radio frequency? thats what the manual said... just need a back up on this or at least ease my mind

 

That was dumb, which ried you got?

need to know what were you installing when the wires got accidentally cut?

 

PIONEER head unit

 

Search for the loom you think did the damage to, search for any broken wire, then crimp it or them back together. Before reinstalling, check to see if you got the correct wire by trying to use you Keyless entry system to now enter the car.

 

thanx for the suggestion... ill try

 

i look at the harness and none of the wires seem to be connected together... still stressed and feeling really ridculous

 

I had the same problem but with my subs (but the power door locks also were shot while the crank was not spining). It turned out I blew a fuse that was for when the engine was not fired up, I forget what it was called though. I know that it was in the engine bay fuse box, it was sorounded by a yellow plastic casing and I had to use the fuse remover that is on the back of the storage box thingy below the dim switch. By the way, it was a tem amp fuse, I replaced the fuse and then everything worked fine again.

Best of luck,
Erik

edit: Sorry to lie but it wasnt actually my car that we had the problem on, that is what I discovered on my friends car but either way problem solved

 

YOU ARE THE F*IN MAN... IM GOING TO GO OUT AND TRY RIGHT NOW ILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT

 

it worked.... thank the good LORD it worked... now i have to get some fuses and ill be straight
